How many hair/makeup trials?

How many hair and makeup trials did most of you ladies have before you booked? Just trying to get a sense of how many people typically go to before choosing.

Re: How many hair/makeup trials?

  • Only one is included in my price but there's no time limit so we can keep working until we find one we like.

    I didn't try her before choosing; I spoke with references and other venues that have had to house her before we chose but she didn't offer a complimentary trial.

    I did one and hated it so I switched artists.

    I did one full trial with my new MUA but decided I wanted to try a smokey eye so I went back and did just a makeup trial to do a smokey eye.  So I guess I did 3, but 2 with the same artist.
  • I did one. I hated the bangs in the first do so she swapped it out to side wisps...I was ok until an hour after I left and realized I hated it and swatted at it so day of I am having her do the side but smaller and to the LEFT (she did it to the right and I NEVER part to the right)....FI loved when he saw. Make up we only switched up the eye colors once.

  • I only did one make up trial before decided on my MUA but I'll be doing doing 3 trials with my hair stylist (updo, down, and half up-half down)

  • I'm early in the process, but I had a 'trial' before my engagement pics, knowing full well that I could get home and do my own if I hated it. But I turned out loving it, so I was able to kill two birds with one stone.
    Hair is TBD....
